The most common reason we find for a New York company not to be in Good Standing is that a required New York
Biennial Statement has not been not filed on time.

Each New York Corporation is required to file a Biennial Statement every two years with the New York Department of State.

The filing period for a NY Corporation is the calendar month in which the New York Department of State approved the Certificate of Incorporation of the New York Corporation.

Each New York LLC is required to file a Biennial Statement every two years with the New York Department of State.

The filing period for a NY Limited Liability Company is the calendar month in which the New York Department of State approved the Articles of Organization of the New York LLC.

If you fail to file a New York Biennial Statement on time you eventually will fall out of Good Standing and your NY business
could be Administratively Dissolved by the New York Secretary of State. If your New York Company is Administratively Dissolved
it is illegal for you to conduct business in the state of New York or any other state. In order to get back into Good Standing
you will also have to pay for any delinquent New York Biennial Statement and pay a Reinstatement Fee.

A New York Corporation company name becomes available for anyone to use when the New York Corporation is Dissolved by the NY Secretary of State.
There are no Corporation company name protections in New York once a New York Corporation has been Dissolved by the NY Secretary of State.

The cost to Reinstate a New York Company depends on the exactly why the NY Corporation or LLC is not in Good Standing.

a New York business and then creating a new New York company.
